If I Were King of the Forest - Harold Arlen, E. Y. Harburg

If I Were King Of The Forest not queen, not duke, not prince.

My regal robes of the forest would be satin, not cotton, not chintz.

I’d command each thing, be it fish or fowl,

with a woof and a woof, and a royal

growl.

As I’d click my heel all the trees would kneel and

the mountains bow and the

bulls kowtow

And the sparrows would take wing, if I were king.
